I remain skeptical. CMX has proved themselves to be a somewhat untrust worthy publisher. Rather than cry in November when there is no KKJ to be found, I shall remain cynical and be pleasantly surprised if it really happens. :lol:

Dear CMX:

I've been very patient. I've waited for over 6 years now for this manga to be released in the United States. Then you took over a year after you got the license to even think about this. Haven't you played enough games with me? Can you please, please, please release Tanemura-sensei's work? I don't want to cry anymore.

Sincerely,
A Royally Cheesed Off and Disappointed Tanemura-lovin' Texan

Seriously, I really hope this is the real deal. ; ___ ;

EDIT: Hey! According to CMX proper, this comes out Oct 26! Woo! They've finally put some info up on their site. I am rather mad at Amazon for comparing Jeanne to Buffy. :shady:

Jeanne to Buffy? *visits site and returns with a quote*

Kusajabe Maron, the heroine of this manga series, will remind Americans of television's "Buffy the Vampire Slayer": both are high school students who secretly combat supernatural evil by night.


Uh...that's the point that's going to remind us of Buffy? O.o Um...that's kinda...lame.

Wow! I COMPLETELY see how KKJ is like Buffy! I mean, there's NEVER been ANY other TV shows with high school students that combat a supernatural evil! Buffy is like, the ONLY other one![/sarcasm]

The plotlines are COMPLETELY different...as are the characters...and...bleh.

That's like saying that Naruto will remind people of Cardcaptor Sakura because they both have a character named Sakura in it. :eyeroll:

I think they're referring to the average American, not individuals like us who are familiar with anime/manga. Still, interesting comparison, if not accurate.

Hey! I think I could write analogies for ignorant Americans. Like, um, *pulls out her crayons and begins scribbling*

Amazon's future summary of Gundam series wrote: Gundam seed, as many have pointed out, bears striking resemblance to the wildly popular American children's show "Barnie and friends", in that both Barney and Gundam seed feature someone dawning an oversized suit of sorts to fight evil, bad manners, or gingivitis.


Oh yeah. I've got a gift.

*burns down Amazon* :lol:

Lemme guess, this one will cost us $9.99 as opposed to Fullmoon Wo Sagashite with cost $8.99 from Viz? (Hey, I know it's a dollar, but that's one more dollar in my pocket. XD)

That would be CORRECT!!

May all manga publishers learn from shining 8.99 examples of a certain exemplary publisher. *Nod nod*

Sadly, even if this were 9.00 I would still be disappoined with it if it's like other CMX publications. My copy of Land of the Blindfolded was so stiff spined that you practically had to saw it open. Plus, I know this isn't a big deal, but it irks me when bold print is over used. I mean you don't have to say: "Oh, Shinja-kun is SO SUPER HOT" and bold print it before I'll understand. Just say it. Normally. I'll take your word for it, I promise.

(Viz does this too actually. *shakes head*)

A copy of Juvenile Orion I read was like that.
